Teacher (Primer Leader) | Florida

About The Role

Primer Leaders are the heartbeat of a Primer campus. You take kids seriously, build deep relationships with families, and create a stable, joyful, consistent learning environment. This is not a traditional classroom job. It blends instructional leadership, operations management, family partnership, and culture creation. You teach literacy, math, execute Pursuits that are a cross of science and social studies, and manage the daily rhythm of your cohort.

• You teach daily lessons in reading, writing, and math through small-group instruction
• K–2: Teach daily literacy lessons, provide instructional support as students work through an individualized digital math curriculum, and partner closely with math Content Teachers to drive individual progress.
• You know where every student is in math and literacy: pacing, mastery, misconceptions
• You comfortably use our school’s operations digital platform to monitor student progress and keep the day running smoothly
• You run high-quality Pursuits, Primer’s interdisciplinary curriculum for applied learning
• You follow a predictable daily schedule and keep students on track
• You review and respond to student data weekly
• You lead parent conferences throughout the year
• You support ongoing admissions by running prospective family campus tours
• You participate in daily staff check-ins and weekly team communications
• You keep the classroom organized, safe, and optimized for learning
• You ensure students consistently follow school routines and expectations, including uniforms
• You follow all school safety procedures, including emergency drills and incident protocols
